Back home:
So Suzan and I are back from my brother’s wedding, an amazing display of family love, togetherness and loyalty amongst friends and community. It’s got me thinking…
I know a lot of wonderful people here in San Francisco, people I wouldn’t trade for all the tea in Chinatown. And yet, as a group, they’re a bit scattered and don’t often gel as a unit. I don’t exactly know how important that is to me yet, but it feels that way. And I’m guessing the hard truth is that groups/crowds/tribes are not engineered but find each other through equal parts hard work and luck.
So I’m going to try. Try to see how the people I love work together, try to spend more time on spiritual and emotional growth, because, as my dad once said, that’s where you meet the best kinds of people. Try to worry less about living a literary life because, while I think that’s important, I’ve mostly been obsessing about this new career out of fear and anxiety. That’s not where I want to be.
So I’m going to try something different. Wanna come along?
